One of the common things that came out in conversation on the day Chris was talking about was that the wrong machine ate the frame as well as uncapping the honey, but no manufacturer was mentioned, one guy has a brush uncapper, works well but it neededs a splash guard as the brushes tend to...

Problem with some of the two strokes is the exhaust gas is ducted into the blown airstream thus covering frames etc in two stroke exhaust, just a re- route job

If you are spending that sort of money then you should add an Api-melter to the list, like Chris I cannot believe the wax and honey you recover with it especially if you have any OSR honey to deal with, Swienty are an excellent company to deal with.

One chap suggested that "the big guys" don't have time to look in depth at each hive. Is this true? I gather that the bees from these two hives were still flying freely yesterday despite the diagnosis of AFB at the beginning of the week. As we rely on bees for part of or all of our income...

This is by way of information rather than the start of a thread. The BFA now has an official Facebook page up and running. Closed discussion groups are being set up region by region, if you wish to be in the closed group relevant to your area please e mail [email protected] with your...

As a full inspection of colonies is needed Chris I guess that the SBI,s are waiting for the temps to rise as I for one would not want any of my bees shook of frames yet, it disrupts things badly enough at any times let alone with the wild variations in temperatures at the moment.

Think yourself lucky they ever replied, I e mailed them before Christmas and never had a reply, I felt that we were to far away, can Mann lake do what you need as you know they are in the uk now Kev

I was at an event with Mike Collier a couple of weeks ago and he was saying his II kit will be available through Brunel Microscopes

This year for the first time as I have some I have been making that recipe up with heather honey and it seems to smooth the throat and help the breathing, in the mind or not its my usual cold cure along with what we were eating on Saturday Chris

Don't forget that the work of an apprentice has to be checked for a considerable time, this in turn slows a fully skilled person down and cuts their productivity, that is why in many walks of life companies refuse to take on apprentices. They cost the company a fortune in lost productivity...

Be carefully Chris, your warranty on the new truck would be invalidated if you run it on anything other than the right stuff and if you have any problems they will be able to tell, common rail diesels do not like the bio, older engines like my TDI land rover will put up with it but it does the...

Go to Tradex Saturday and talk direct to Swienty, they are there

Whats the truck as my other job is fixing cars and 4x4s

Normally a long thread on the main forum but my normal hive stands have had a some what of a hammering over the last few days, numerous hives on their backs stands and all. The normal summer,( that will do two lengths of 3x2 and 2 beer crates) have not worked, the wind just moved the lot then...

I do not know a lot about it Chris but I know one of the difficulties is that you cannot go beyond a certain range from base, which can be very limiting on uses of the truck

I got called by one of my farmers today, a 30 foot Ish oak has torn out of the ground and a large nest had been found in the hollow trunk, waste of time the badgers had been there and cleared up, only went out of politeness as any bees would not have survived anyway, can offer you a section...

I have some of their samples Chris, did you have to give them all the specs re regulations on lettering sizes, weight display, contact, lot nos etc. Do you number your labels or use a separate label gun for that info. Kev

Just had an e mail from Terry, that part of the agenda is a typo!
